A very lazy writer/journalist. There's a ton of information out there the author could have used to contradict and/or undermine the falsehood spewed out by Dr. Immanuel, but the writer simply repeated what's already out in the public domain.

The video may be fake but the real issue is that the virus we are fighting against, fourty times of it can pass through the small hole of a mask, say immunologists..

consider japan or s korea, where people wear masks. they do the trick. and it works since people who are sick as well as those not sick both wear it.

The side effects of the malaria drugs are similar to covid symptoms and may do more harm to some patients. Since most people recover from the infection, the drugs may just be having dangerous placebo effects. Prevention is still better than cure - open windows and let in fresh air daily, fast for 24 hours with only water if you feel funny, do not blow your nose, just sniff in and spit out plus hand-washing, masks, and distancing. But I agree with the Unical-trained Great Malabress doctor that saying prayers and wishing the country well may make people to feel good.
